Besides she just wants to be like her friends…we were that way you know.Rick: Well that’s great I bust my ass to earn enough money just to keep food on the table and my kids just want new fancy CD players!Crystal: You don’t have to yell. Here are your socks, with all these holes in them I’m surprised that you can still wear them.Rick: Damn, guess it’s time to by new ones.
